.....lol bimbo in tow, in a classic shape wrx was after a bit of sport-which i kindly accepted(slowly) on the motor way from 60 mph onward......... 
+ control more than anything, 0-60 is a bit pointless unless you're on said dragstrip and you'll keep up with an Enzo if he doesn't want to play or can't drive for peanuts. Build and drive the car for yourself, not for bragging rights down the pub.*awaits inevitable flaming*...i dont wanna go around bragging cs lets face it 300 odd break aint a lot in an mr2 turbo-its decent though...........any stories of similarly spec'd mr2s driving next to other cars in an enthusiastic mannor?lolbill wrote:i reckon your talking m3 pace

E46 and older are no problem for me on the 1/4 mile, and mine is only mildly modded so far.

say my car runs at 320bhp after rebuild and mapping what would i expect to keep up with and what may i expect my 0 to 60 and more importantly my quarter mile times to be?
- ie. about 260 to 270WHP - it ran a dragstrip quarter mile time of 13.27s with a poor launch (2.0s 60ft time). Car weighed in at about 1400kg's with me and some junk+spare in it 
Obviously a better launch would net you both a faster 1/4 mile and 0-60mph time than this

What mods and 1/4 mile time you getting?
(north weald airfield), can launch much faster on tarmac, but not done a timed drag on tarmac yet! So anything less than this and you win!

Thats what mine ran it was running exhuast and de-cat.
If you can get the car off the line reasonably well, with 320bhp you will be looking at 12.8 ish.
Standardish Rev3 should match an M3.
Think of it this way, at 260-270ish BHP, you will do 0-60 in 5.3ish and 0-100 in 13.4 seconds ish.

p.s my willy is bigger
Had for 4 years or so, sold it 4 months ago or so..........red with metalic grey roof/rota aloys/had bonnet scoop on until recently etc............ Used to be at the bridges in South Queensferry.
Sold it for some daft reason. I had a Silver 400bhp STi for a while used to be in KDY a bit.... if im through in KDY will be on the bike. Shepz too. I regret it alot! Although the car was just going to waste. My fun time is on my bike now though. Lol. Need to sell the Golf, and its quite hard to find the exact 2 i want. Not seen any for sale recenlty.
